management is not oensured for running

verdict simply says that the failure to
patrol the track for six hours before the

CLOSE to the the tracks are subjects for
criticism. The friends of the road on the

those who wanted to fix a portion of the

Afraid of the Utes.

Glenwood Springs, Colo, August 49,
BY a courier In from Meeker it is learn.
ed that the greatest fear and excitement
prevails since the Ute peace commission
attempted to assassinate their escort
who was taking them to Colorow's camp
to make known the conditions CT peace.
There are about 800 people in town and
about 200 of them good fighting men,
but they are poorly armed. The women
are frightened badly and an attack is
expected on the town at any time.
Double vigilance is used to
guard against q massacre. III the Utes
are as strong as believed they out
number the fighting force here.
Three couriera have been dispatched to
Ge neral West within eight hours to
hurry on the militia as fast as possible.
McAndrewss the interpreter who came
with the peace commissioner from Oursy
agency, says that under the cIrcum-
stances he thinks q general outbreak is
unavoidable. 1t is known here that the
Utes at Ouray and Uintah have been
dissatisfied for some time. They clam
the agent is a bully and having the
backing OF the troops OF the fort, knocks
them down or abuses them in any
manner he may choose. The settlers
are arriving hourly. coming i'll groups
which have been gathered for mutual
protection at the ranches. One settler
saw four runners to-day, two OF
whom were hurryipg towards Utah and
two were going south, prob.
ably to southern Utah for reinforoementr,
a messenger has started for Fort Du-
ohesne 90 ask aid from there. Another
settler has come in from Bear river and
says he was within o quarter of a mile OF
Colorow's camp on Williams fork. He
counted thirty-seYen sqnaws and sixteen
children by the aid of his glass. He
cav the eqnaws engaged in running
bullets end fixing ammunition. A email
party of scouts sent out to-day have
just returned and reported that they saw
a party of about forty bucks making to-
wards the old government wagon road
between here and Glenwood Springs.
1t is supposed they 70 as an ambush in
anticipation OF help coming from that

WIND AND WATER.

Forty-Two Miles an Hour and Preci-
pitation of Nearly Two-Thirds OF
of an Inch.
Yesterday was q warm sultry day the
thermometer registering 80 degrees
above zero and when at night large
banks of clouds were visible in the
west, the people were not surprised and
when later in the night q storm blew
up from the northwest a d rain and hail
fell, lightning flashed and thunder
rumbled, there wss still no surprise,
but when this morning the appearance
of things generally Indicated a wind
visitation there were those who seemed
much surprised. The wind last night
blew at the rate of forty-two miles per
hour and trees, slgns, boxes and one brick
wall were moved from the positions they
occupied yesterday. The wind came in
gusts, but the gusts were numerous and
those who heard them not must have
been sound sleepers. Hail stones, in
small numbers but large Sizes, fell and
there is some damaged glass to be reset.
The rainfall was sixty-hundredths of an
inch, which is regarded as heavy for the
short period of the storm. The rainfall
for the season is still five inches behind
the average and there will probably be
much rain in September. The rainy
season, under ordinary circumstances,
would be regarded as nearly passed, but
this year is q year when all weather
transactions have been innovations and
unpleasant experiences are likely to
hold sway for several weeks,
ANOTHER.
AT eleven o'clock this forenoon another
furious storm burst upon this section.
Heavy black and green clouds doomed
up from the northwest and came down
upon us with the speed of a fast express
train. Lightning played vividly from
out the ominous mass and crash after
crash of thunder echoed beneath the
sombre archway. Just before reaching
the city the heaviest portion of the
storm turned and crossed the Missouri
Nebraska, moving southeastward.
There was however, enough left for MS.
For a half an hour the wind blew a gale
and the lightning played reeklessly
about. The storm cloud passed OF
leaving the landscape submerged and
the people willing to part with it.
The Velocity of the wind during this
forenoop's storm was thirty-nine miles
per hour. Fifty-four hundredths of an
inch of water fell during the storm,
making n and fourteen hundredths
inches during the past twenty four

the room but a few moments before and
when she returned tho bed clothing and
were burning. The clustering
was torn off in spots and the building
generally shaken up. A few buckets of
water sufficed TO e%xtinguish the blaze
before it had gained much Roadway.
